Nintendo announced late last night that Namco Bandai will be helping with the upcoming Smash Bros title for 3DS and Wii U.

While Masahiro Sakurai will still be working on it, he’ll have some help from developers that have worked on previous fighters like Tekken and SoulCalibur as well.

A statement by Nintendo says that, “Yoshito Higuchi, the producer and the director of the ‘Tales’ series, Tetsuya Akatsuka, producer and director of ‘Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs.,’ the art director/sound director of the ‘SoulCalibur’ series, the main development team staff from the Tekken series…and that’s just for starters” will be helping out.
